| The Boron Solution For Pulse
Crops |
| LIGNO-BORON |
| Boron deficiencies
occur on a wide variety of soils, however boron availability
is reduced as pH increases. Ironically, many alkaline
soils such as those in the Victorian Mallee region have
high levels of total and exchangeable boron, however the
plant availability of this boron is low, as tissue analysis
consistently shows low plant boron levels. Boron availability
is further reduced by moisture stress and high levels
of nitrogen application. Boron is essential for flowering,
grain set and seed viability. Boron also increases root
growth, calcium uptake and the disease resistance of legumes.
Deficiency symptoms may include excessive flower drop,
deformed seeds and poor seed viability. Younger leaves
may be thick or rubbery with swollen stems and a yellow
or dull silvery green colour. |

| The Foliar Solution For
Pulse Crops |
| LIG- POLYPHOS |
| Crops grown in Australian
soils require significant quantities of phosphorous (P)
containing fertilizers for optimum growth and production.
In some soils, the availability of chemical phosphate
fertilizers is quite good, however in most soils the plant
availability is at best 30%. Much of Australia's cereal
crops are grown in alkaline soils, many of these are calcareous
(contain free lime). Calcareous soils typically range
from pH 7.0-8.4, and their phosphate retention is usually
in excess of 90% (see Figure 1). If you apply 50 kg P/ha
as phosphate on a calcareous soil, the crop will receive
less than 5 kg P during that growing season. Many calcareous
soils with a good fertilizer history have very high or
even excessive levels of phosphorous, yet crops are still
showing signs of deficiency or sub-optimal P levels. The
phosphorous problem is not one of supply, but of availability.

| The Foliar Zinc Solution
For Pulse Crops |
| LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE
|
| Zinc deficiency is
most common on alkaline soils such as those found in the
Wimmera and Mallee areas of Victoria and most of South
Australia. However deficiencies are also common on many
of the leached acid sands in Western Australia. While
zinc has been included in base fertilizers for some years,
trial work has shown that its efficiency is usually limited
on alkaline soils due to zinc lock-up. Soil residues of
sulphonylurea herbicides (eg. Ally, Glean) also reduce
zinc uptake and may induce zinc deficiency. Zinc is particularly
important in the very early stages of a plant’s life for
germination, root growth, photosynthesis and shoot development.
In legumes zinc is required for nitrogen fixation and
protein synthesis and low zinc levels at flowering significantly
reduce pulse quality and yield. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-ZINC + MANGANESE |
|
- high plant availability of zinc & manganese through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated zinc ensures no burning
- enhances photosynthesis & early growth of plants
- superior binding properties allows for early application
- improves nitrogen fixation, grain protein & yields
- compatible with herbicides, fungicides & pesticides
- low cost Australian made product
|
| APPLICATION |
| Pulse Crops - 1-2 L/Ha
at five leaf stage or with post emergent sprays. |

| The Manganese Solution For
Pulse Crops |
| LIG-MANGANESE |
| Manganese deficiency
occurs in alkaline soils, most of which are found in South
Australia and the Esperance area of Western Australia.
The Yorke Peninsula in SA is known to have the most severe
manganese deficiencies in the world, and crops usually
die without some form of manganese application. Manganese
performs similar functions to zinc in that it is involved
in photosynthesis and root development, and has a significant
effect on grain set because of its importance for carbohydrate
production and seed filling. In legumes, manganese also
plays an essential role in disease resistance, protein
content and prevents seed splitting in lupins. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF
LIG-MANGANESE |
|
- high plant availability through leaf
- rapid leaf uptake & plant utilization
- chelated manganese is user friendly
- enhances photosynthesis & disease resistance
- superior binding properties allows for early application
- improves protein content & yields
- compatible with post emergents
- low cost Australian made product
